Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles had a career year in 2015; his 80.3 overall grade was the best mark by a Jags QB since David Garrard in 2010.

The Jaguars’ signal caller has had help from his offensive line; the group has ranked no worse than 17th in the league in pass-blocking efficiency since Bortles entered the league in 2014.

His deep passing declined in 2016, with a 1:7 TD to INT ratio on throws 20-plus yards downfield. He ranked last in adjusted completion percentage (23.5 percent) and passer rating (17.5) on deep attempts.

Since 2014, Bortles leads the league in batted passes (56), and is second in the league in interceptions thrown (51, one behind Los Angeles Chargers QB Philip Rivers).

He also leads the league in interceptions thrown when having 2.6 seconds or more to throw, with 29, since 2014.
